Press This

Press This is a little tool that lets you grab bits of the web and create new posts with ease. It will even allow you to choose from images or videos included on the page and use them in your post. Use Press This as a quick and lightweight way to highlight another page on the web. Version 2.0 - Gutenberg Block Editor Press This 2.0 brings the modern WordPress block editor experience to the bookmarklet popup. You can now compose posts using familiar blocks like Paragraph, Heading, Image, Quote, List, and Embed. New Features:

• Gutenberg Block Editor - Full block editor integration for a consistent WordPress editing experience
• Smart Post Format Suggestions - Automatically suggests Video, Quote, or Link formats based on content
• Enhanced Content Extraction - Improved scraping with JSON-LD structured data support
• Client-Side Only Scraping - All content extraction happens in your browser for better privacy and security
• Featured Image Support - Set any scraped image as your post's featured image
• Improved Media Grid - Better thumbnail display with support for video and audio embeds

Filters for Developers Press This 2.0 includes new filters for customization:

• press_this_allowed_blocks - Customize which blocks are available in the editor
